Dragon Age Origins was the pinnacle of excellence. In my opinion, it was the spiritual successor of the great Baldur's Gate series a decade before Baldur's Gate 3. I'm very disappointed that the ball was dropped so hard on this series. It had so much potential.
im so happy they are so slow to realise noone likes DEI in their games/movies.... let them all go bankrupt edit: oh yea and all DEI sites like gamerant etc
Every dragon age game has been full of this stuff and all the games have been good. But now people hate dei shit so they just don’t like this game even before it’s come out. All the dragon age games have been good. I doubt this one will be any different
I feel like we've actually banded together and voted with our wallets. Concord was shut down in 12 days with a $200M+ loss for Sony, Dustborn failed, Flintlock failed, Skull & Bones + Star Wars Outlaws failed. These studios don't have infinite money and time to lose. They will get tired of losing hundreds of millions of dollars and cave in finally to core gamers without adding "the message" and DEI into everything.
I am shocked that they are incapable of even keeping the atmosphere and themes of the series, much less the story. I doubt that Bioware is able to make a good Mass Effect game anymore.
@@QseftJohn I feel Bioware has zero self awareness about what situation they're in, its no joke that this will be the nail in the coffin for Bioware, we all know EA doesn't take well to low sales from its studios, and they're due to shut down a studio any day now to put the blame on, due to the general mismanagement of EA itself, I guess the current Bioware employees already have new jobs lined up if they decided to take this route
They need to learn that audiences don't care about the sexualities of characters they don't care about. Character and personality have to be introduced first than love interests should be a side thing or something you find out after all the action and introduction. If I don't like it care about a character why am I going to care about who they screw??

Dragon veil guard. Woke ideology, focusing on pansexuality, made by E.A. games and made for modern audience. Final conclusion… my wallet will remain shut.
How to bankrupt a company. Hire women and put them in charge. Over 90% of the wealthiest women got their money from marrying/divorcing WEALTHY MEN. Less than 10% of the wealthiest women became wealthy because they created a good/service consumers wanted.
@@JohnDoe-dr9ff Amy Henning was the writer of Legacy of Kain and Uncharted games. She is insanely talented and is now a CEO of a studio. It has nothing to do with gender, just politics.
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 Thank you for proving my point. Of the richest women in the USA - 95% made their money by divorcing a wealthy man. 5% made their money by actually earning it by creating a business or investing. Citing one example does not change the overall reality that women make poor leaders and innovators. You can’t dispute that simple reality.
but you know they'll say it's those loyal fans' fault when it fails. I hope it burns Bioware down with it. I hate that I'm saying that, BG 1 and 2 are still my favorite games ever.
I loved Dragon Age. This is not DA. It's a screenful of electronic vomit. It's stylized characters who have never travelled together. It's sci fi looking when it should be old world. It's fake companions with nothing to say. TRASH.
When they said it's for the modern audience, that's a massive red flag and a big hell NO. They deserve what they're getting, stop pandering to spiteful and hateful ppl who don't even play games.
@@djinnxx7050 omg stfu. You are the problem with everything. Yeah i supported the game when i knew they werent going to succumb to pressure from goofballs. Kind of like how your opinion on the matter doesnt mean anything either. Ill do what I want. You can cry about it. With your broke ass.
I feel EA gave up on them and just said, release what you have and will see what happens, aka we're going to close your studio down unless you manage the impossible for yourselves at this point
I love Dragon Age but Dragon Age: The Veilguard looks like the worst Dragon Age game out of all them. The enemies looks like dols and darkspawns look like clowns. Also all companions are Bi and sex addicts that will F anything and anyone. Also I noticed total lack of blood and all the different colors during the combat that make sit look like it is a mobile game vomiting rainbows in every fight.
This was supposed to be in the Tevinter Imperium, which is a whole nation built on the backs of slaves. So, slavery is cool, but don't you dare mis-gender somebody! 😂 The DEI people should stop and listen to themselves once in a while!
I actually felt bad for them and thought the game looked okay and was considering buying it... then I saw the chest surgery scar option and the "bulge size" slider for flat cheated female characters.... and I suddenly wanted to see it fail and decided I will not give them a cent.
As a huge former Bioware fan who has played the older Dragon Age games to death, I have zero interest in what zombie Bioware has come up with for this DEI infested pile of garbage filled with hideous looking characters.
Here is how you actually read an IGN score: You take 5 points off then multiply it by 2. A 7 is actually a 4 and not worth your money or attention besides watching it fail.
"Gonna pass until I hear good things" is how I feel about every game now. Anyone who pre-orders a game or buys it on day one is a fool. Not to mention, pre-ordering games just encourages companies to release half-finished garbage.
I honestly can't blame anyone not preordering Veilguard... It's basically a Tumblr homepage. - The designs are hideous - Effects are too colorful - They removed the core aspects of what made the franchise. - Returning characters look/sound sh*t (Looking at you Varric) - Animation somehow got worse since the last game. All of this with 10 YEARS APART from the last game... 10 years and they delivered this sh*t?!
@@tami3456Wait, what? Isn't it set in the part of the world where that is commonplace and, as I understand it from bothering Dorian so much, practically a requirement to get anywhere in the politics of it? I can't remember the name of the place. If they've removed blood magic, that means they've changed the lore. And it probably means no more gore. That's not the biggest issue though, as cool as it is to be doused in claret after a scrap, it does make the cutscenes a lot funnier than they're supposed to be when you and your squad appear covered head to toe in it like you've just won gold at a world's fastest butcher contest. But maybe that was partly the intention, added a bit of levity whilst still being edgy and dark. It will be missed, but at least the more serious intense stuff won't be spoiled by you and your squad looking like you've just murdered half a cities innocents.
@@djinnxx7050you are referring to the Mage centred Tevinter. Blood magic is technically a “no no” in Tevinter, but it’s so commonly used that people turn a blind eye to it, especially if the mage using it is in power. I think blood magic will 100% be in the game, but we will likely only be fighting blood mages, not using it ourselves. We still get to be a necromancer-esc specialization tho. Some necromancy could be classified as blood magic.
@@ethanparker4309 Aye, that's the place, the tevinter imperium. As I remember, Tevinter is basically an inversion of the rest of thedas and the chantry. If in ferelden it's illegal to tickle a dwarfs feet after midnight, then in tevinter the dwarfs are gonna really be wanting for sleep and have one buggered circadian rhythm. Probably wrong, but i basically think of it like Christianity and LaVeyan Satanism.
Tumblrites aren't even playing this. They're going crazy for the chainsaw lollipop remaster. I see a lot of fanart for that game and I've never heard of this.
Woke games are dumb, irritating and ugly. They could have made a good game and intentionally made a crappy woke pile of garbage. They do not deserve any of our money.
Say it like it is: representation in video games for non-gamers is a bad thing. You don't want to represent people who don't buy or even play video games, with the risk of pissing off existing fans. If you can't stand this fact, you have no business developing video games in the first place.
Such tough choices. 1. Just make a good, fun game. 2. Make woke trash with terrible writing and shallow characters to push a social and political narrative. Then when no one buys it, attack the players who just wanted a good, fun game. And these companies keep picking option 2.
BioWare has done nothing to help themselves. They’ve only hurt there company at every turn. What Deagon Age fan would like what’s been released about Veilguard so far? None that I know of like what they’ve seen. You can control ur companions anymore so you only control ur character so it’s more like an action game over what it was. Also the devil horn characters use to look badass like beasts and BioWare has decided it would be better if you just made them look like humans with horns cause that doesn’t make them look weird as fuck. They do not look cool at all now. They just look extremely weird instead. I am not interested in Dragon Age Veilguard at all from the things I’ve seen. I’m not as big of fans as my friends are but they aren’t interested in it either and this doesn’t make optimistic at all for the BioWare game that I use to really like and that’s Mass Effect. I highly doubt they’ll make that game as amazing as it could be and will instead screw it up.
Why don't they just release 2 copies. One with this dei crap, and another where the characters look normal and are normal. Then we would see who liked what.
The gameplay looks okay, but im not playing it for one major reason, and that's the character designs. If you can't make them look cool, make them hot, but having neither of those is a red flag for me.
Sad, I loved the last Dragon Age, never beat it but got far into it. However, I hate the character designs, art direction, and I swear the 2014 looks better. I tell you, the team at these studios need to step up and not let a handful of lunatics drive their studios into the ground. There's 1000s of laid off folks who wished they said something before some purple hair, body confused, overweight, emotionally disturbed individual or individuals injected their own beliefs, self into a $100 million project.
What I don't see people calling out, are the folks who forced their agendas into projects. When they talk about it, they don't mention names typically. Say their names so the next company or team know what to expect. The lunatics who force this crap and cause their company to go bankrupt just ride off into the sunset, not accepting any responsibilities for their actions. They probably feel proud, while they might not have a job, they at least made a game about themselves. That's typical of w0men and sis I mean cis faux m3n raised by w0men. No accountability, no shame, and will blame others for their failures.
They gutted the dark fantasy, the tactics, and from what I can deal, doing everything I dislike in writing. I might get it on discount if I hear some good things, but I aint preordering or paying full price.
It is freaking great that players are finally taking a stand and not buying garbage games and making the publishers eat huge $100 mil losses. They have to learn that they HAVE to listen to the vast number of people that actually play the games and not to DEI hires and investment companies that are pushing an agenda.
yeah there is no way I'm buying a game that prominently features a black elf... that tells me right there that they are more concerned with political agenda than anything. black elves make as little sense to me as tall lanky dwarves.
I don't mind the skin color but the face is all wrong. Elves in Dragon Age have always had very distinct physiques, slimmer, more angular. Davrin just looks like a human dude with pointy ears.
Mouse PI looks sick. I honestly wouldn't mind more games with that kind of art style. Cuphead showed that there's a market for it, and this one looks like it could show that people can take that a step further. Imagine a beat 'em up game with that style. Imagine going Popeye-Mode on some enemies. THAT would be cool, I think.
How come the 'inclusion' part of DEI always involves the people who want to be included also want you to change the material to suit them. If you want a bright soft action rpg w mobile graphics and pansexuals, just make your own!
In the first Dragon Age, one of the initial quests was to drink the blood of darkspawn. If that ritual didn't end you outright, then you had the honor of joining the war against the Archdemon where you would likely end up slain by the darkspawn. Now you get to enjoy quirky fun times and all of the whimsy.

They don't lose money.. your tax dollar subsidizes it. Dei checkmark incentives are big bucks.
Why do you think everything pc keeps getting pushed across all media despite every single one of them being massive commercial failures?
Here's a hint:
Theyre not actually losing money.
@@Carnage7209 No, Blackrock is definitely losing money.
Billions
How much money does Blackrock and Vanguard have to their names? How much money can the US government print?
lol just went to ign , the reviews are legit all 7-9 with a few 6s lol what a joke,ign is
Dragon veil guard. Woke ideology, focusing on pansexuality, made by E.A. games and made for modern audience. Final conclusion… my wallet will remain shut.
What does pansexuality even mean? Someone get turned on watching pans?
Never buy anything from shitty BioWare.
@@Zagirus they were good. but that was more than 10 years ago
They think the bg3 trash was good, remember? 😂
@@Lookingformorefun yeah the last good game they released was in 2010, I'm not really sure what people are expecting from a talentless studio
How to bankrupt your game studio: hire a bunch of progressive liberal women and allow them to design a new game from an established franchise.
How to bankrupt a company. Hire women and put them in charge.
Over 90% of the wealthiest women got their money from marrying/divorcing WEALTHY MEN. Less than 10% of the wealthiest women became wealthy because they created a good/service consumers wanted.
the game director in this case is actually just a pretend woman, though. I'd also say that the "liberal" left of today is anything but liberal. :p
And then give them a budget in the hundreds of millions to see how fast they can speed run the bankruptcy.
@@JohnDoe-dr9ff Amy Henning was the writer of Legacy of Kain and Uncharted games. She is insanely talented and is now a CEO of a studio. It has nothing to do with gender, just politics.
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 Thank you for proving my point.
Of the richest women in the USA -
95% made their money by divorcing a wealthy man.
5% made their money by actually earning it by creating a business or investing.
Citing one example does not change the overall reality that women make poor leaders and innovators. You can’t dispute that simple reality.
20 years ago I was excited for the future of gaming, now we're here I'm excited to replay retro games
It funny as hell people have got 4090 cards and they are playing pixel games with them.
Absolutely
For real, I was considering getting a 5080 when they release and now I'm thinking, to play what exactly? GTA6 is probably gonna be terrible as well.
Dragon Age is a Dark Fantasy setting. I have no idea why they thought this was a good idea.
They put representation in games for non-gamers, and end up chasing away their loyal fans.
but you know they'll say it's those loyal fans' fault when it fails. I hope it burns Bioware down with it.
I hate that I'm saying that, BG 1 and 2 are still my favorite games ever.
Disgusting
@@NinjaFlibbleforever
I loved Dragon Age. This is not DA. It's a screenful of electronic vomit. It's stylized characters who have never travelled together. It's sci fi looking when it should be old world. It's fake companions with nothing to say. TRASH.
I have loved Dragon Age since the first one on 360, but I'm not interested at all... I'm not even waiting for reviews. I just don't want it
Bioware looked at Ubisoft and said, "Let's go down the same road!"
"It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em." Pepper Brooks
When they said it's for the modern audience, that's a massive red flag and a big hell NO. They deserve what they're getting, stop pandering to spiteful and hateful ppl who don't even play games.
The unfortunate thing is these activists who made it to the top of the hierarchy and destroy every IP they can get their hands of.
Says alot about gamers that they would even consider buying any modern video game.
Rule #1: Never! Pre! Order!
Should be a notification every time you login, go to purchase a game or walk into a GameStop/EB Games.
I mean, i pre orderd wu kong.
The day before it dropped just to give them the number.
More like never even buy
@@rickwilliams6904And that is still dumb and you are part of what's wrong with the industry.
Pre-ordering is cancer.
@@djinnxx7050 omg stfu.
You are the problem with everything.
Yeah i supported the game when i knew they werent going to succumb to pressure from goofballs.
Kind of like how your opinion on the matter doesnt mean anything either.
Ill do what I want.
You can cry about it.
With your broke ass.
I have 1500 hours for Origins alone and I'm not going to buy this game, not even for 5 bucks
This is pretty much Bioware's last chance and this is what they decide to come up with?
I feel EA gave up on them and just said, release what you have and will see what happens, aka we're going to close your studio down unless you manage the impossible for yourselves at this point
I love Dragon Age but Dragon Age: The Veilguard looks like the worst Dragon Age game out of all them. The enemies looks like dols and darkspawns look like clowns. Also all companions are Bi and sex addicts that will F anything and anyone. Also I noticed total lack of blood and all the different colors during the combat that make sit look like it is a mobile game vomiting rainbows in every fight.
You know the fact that i thoroughly enjoyed all the Dragon Age games and defend them to the death. This is the one that i just dont want to play
This was supposed to be in the Tevinter Imperium, which is a whole nation built on the backs of slaves. So, slavery is cool, but don't you dare mis-gender somebody! 😂
The DEI people should stop and listen to themselves once in a while!
Communists LOVE slavery. It's kinda their whole ideology. Everyone is property of the state and the neo-feudal "leaders" decide everything.
I was so looking forward to that aspect too. Dreadwolf had such a cool concept going for it, it's a damn shame.
I always imagined the Tevinter Imperium to resemble the byzantine Empire in aesthetics, but no, we have what ever this is
@@wisereaper4747 An ugly magical cyberpunk rip off.
@@johnnormington1311 ah great another ai bot reply
I actually felt bad for them and thought the game looked okay and was considering buying it... then I saw the chest surgery scar option and the "bulge size" slider for flat cheated female characters.... and I suddenly wanted to see it fail and decided I will not give them a cent.
It's a real testament to how great Origins is that people care at all about Dragon Age after 2 and Inquisition.
Exactly!
2 was a good game, in its context that it was heavily rushed by EA, you can see that there was potential and even what we got wasn't bad
The new hires didn’t care about the franchise lore
So as a previous fan why would I buy it?
I’d rather replay the OG DA
I was a huge Dragon Age fan. I even liked DA2 and Inquisition. I will NOT be buying this garbage. It looks terrible and apparently is woke AF
As a huge former Bioware fan who has played the older Dragon Age games to death, I have zero interest in what zombie Bioware has come up with for this DEI infested pile of garbage filled with hideous looking characters.
Here is how you actually read an IGN score: You take 5 points off then multiply it by 2. A 7 is actually a 4 and not worth your money or attention besides watching it fail.
Romance is the worst part of RPGs nowadays and that seems to be what they're focusing on more and more as more girls become gamers
"Gonna pass until I hear good things" is how I feel about every game now. Anyone who pre-orders a game or buys it on day one is a fool. Not to mention, pre-ordering games just encourages companies to release half-finished garbage.
These companies are being subsidized to produce game like this, but lose money in the end weaking their company which leaves it open for buyouts.
Sparking Zero is spiritual successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 people have been waiting for a sequel since 2007. This game is so hyped.
If Sparkling Whatever Doesn’t have as many Characters as Budokai tenkaichi 3 Its not a Successor
I honestly can't blame anyone not preordering Veilguard... It's basically a Tumblr homepage.
- The designs are hideous
- Effects are too colorful
- They removed the core aspects of what made the franchise.
- Returning characters look/sound sh*t (Looking at you Varric)
- Animation somehow got worse since the last game.
All of this with 10 YEARS APART from the last game... 10 years and they delivered this sh*t?!
You also forgot there's no blood magic
@@tami3456Wait, what?
Isn't it set in the part of the world where that is commonplace and, as I understand it from bothering Dorian so much, practically a requirement to get anywhere in the politics of it?
I can't remember the name of the place.
If they've removed blood magic, that means they've changed the lore. And it probably means no more gore. That's not the biggest issue though, as cool as it is to be doused in claret after a scrap, it does make the cutscenes a lot funnier than they're supposed to be when you and your squad appear covered head to toe in it like you've just won gold at a world's fastest butcher contest. But maybe that was partly the intention, added a bit of levity whilst still being edgy and dark. It will be missed, but at least the more serious intense stuff won't be spoiled by you and your squad looking like you've just murdered half a cities innocents.
@@djinnxx7050you are referring to the Mage centred Tevinter. Blood magic is technically a “no no” in Tevinter, but it’s so commonly used that people turn a blind eye to it, especially if the mage using it is in power. I think blood magic will 100% be in the game, but we will likely only be fighting blood mages, not using it ourselves. We still get to be a necromancer-esc specialization tho. Some necromancy could be classified as blood magic.
@@ethanparker4309 Aye, that's the place, the tevinter imperium.
As I remember, Tevinter is basically an inversion of the rest of thedas and the chantry. If in ferelden it's illegal to tickle a dwarfs feet after midnight, then in tevinter the dwarfs are gonna really be wanting for sleep and have one buggered circadian rhythm.
Probably wrong, but i basically think of it like Christianity and LaVeyan Satanism.
Tumblrites aren't even playing this. They're going crazy for the chainsaw lollipop remaster. I see a lot of fanart for that game and I've never heard of this.
A decade late to make the next entry for Dragon Age and it’s one that keeps insisting on doing everything we have hated since the second game.
Amen.
I miss Sten.
Woke games are dumb, irritating and ugly. They could have made a good game and intentionally made a crappy woke pile of garbage. They do not deserve any of our money.
Say it like it is: representation in video games for non-gamers is a bad thing. You don't want to represent people who don't buy or even play video games, with the risk of pissing off existing fans. If you can't stand this fact, you have no business developing video games in the first place.
The bioware we knew and loved died midway theough mass effect 3. Now its just a puppeteerd corpse.
We didn't start the fire.
And we don't have to put it out.
Sitting here with my marshmallows lol. Let it burn
Name one way we could put it out even if we wanted to?
The fire rises!
This will underperform like Outlaws, but the next enormous headline-grabbing flop is going to be Fable 4
Such tough choices.
1. Just make a good, fun game.
2. Make woke trash with terrible writing and shallow characters to push a social and political narrative. Then when no one buys it, attack the players who just wanted a good, fun game.
And these companies keep picking option 2.
Moneys gotta run out sooner or later and from what it sounds like it'll be sooner
It's so sad to see
Dragon Age: Dustborn.
Learn your place, BRAND. The goofs at Pixar much to their dismay had to and Inside out 2 got its victory
noooo let them go on with the dei until they go bankrupt dont tell em
It was that or go the way of Bing Bong.
This is a good game actually. I don't care what people say whether woke or traditional. I don't care. I live for my own. And I love Dragon age ❤❤
When I look at this game, I don’t even even see dragon Age. I see a fantasy mobile game made by Disney.
Wuttttt thats crazy, i cant wait to play Dragon Age.. 2.. while I watch the Veil Guard burn like the woke trash it is
EA canned Star Wars 1313 and the new Star Wars FPS from Respawn, both of which looked awsome, but greenlit this woke garbage 🗑
Absolute 🤡 's
BioWare has done nothing to help themselves. They’ve only hurt there company at every turn. What Deagon Age fan would like what’s been released about Veilguard so far? None that I know of like what they’ve seen. You can control ur companions anymore so you only control ur character so it’s more like an action game over what it was. Also the devil horn characters use to look badass like beasts and BioWare has decided it would be better if you just made them look like humans with horns cause that doesn’t make them look weird as fuck. They do not look cool at all now. They just look extremely weird instead. I am not interested in Dragon Age Veilguard at all from the things I’ve seen. I’m not as big of fans as my friends are but they aren’t interested in it either and this doesn’t make optimistic at all for the BioWare game that I use to really like and that’s Mass Effect. I highly doubt they’ll make that game as amazing as it could be and will instead screw it up.
They have turned Dragon Age into a joke. Origins was BG3 before BG3 was BG3. They shall never be forgiven for what they have done.
DA:O was also ME 2 and ME 3 before those were released. And still is.
That's what happens when woke culture are in charge of a game.
people are dying Kim!!!
Lol ive been roasted so many times for saying similar. But, some of us still remember. Im glad for that
@@drocka36 We were there when it was glorious
Dragon Age died when David Gaider and Mike Laidlaw called it quits.
It's gonna go the way for modern Saints Row that closed down Volition 😂
Why don't they just release 2 copies. One with this dei crap, and another where the characters look normal and are normal. Then we would see who liked what.
The gameplay looks okay, but im not playing it for one major reason, and that's the character designs.
If you can't make them look cool, make them hot, but having neither of those is a red flag for me.
I dislike that they went full action.
Rainbow flag
@@sol-hunter2332 seems like it's similar to DA2s style
Sad, I loved the last Dragon Age, never beat it but got far into it. However, I hate the character designs, art direction, and I swear the 2014 looks better. I tell you, the team at these studios need to step up and not let a handful of lunatics drive their studios into the ground. There's 1000s of laid off folks who wished they said something before some purple hair, body confused, overweight, emotionally disturbed individual or individuals injected their own beliefs, self into a $100 million project.
What I don't see people calling out, are the folks who forced their agendas into projects. When they talk about it, they don't mention names typically. Say their names so the next company or team know what to expect. The lunatics who force this crap and cause their company to go bankrupt just ride off into the sunset, not accepting any responsibilities for their actions. They probably feel proud, while they might not have a job, they at least made a game about themselves. That's typical of w0men and sis I mean cis faux m3n raised by w0men. No accountability, no shame, and will blame others for their failures.
They gutted the dark fantasy, the tactics, and from what I can deal, doing everything I dislike in writing. I might get it on discount if I hear some good things, but I aint preordering or paying full price.
What about the ultra super ultra edition?
"How many times are we gonna teach you old man?"
I'm a dragon age fan and idk wtf this game is supposed to be. Maybe it's dragon age for a modern audience??
It is freaking great that players are finally taking a stand and not buying garbage games and making the publishers eat huge $100 mil losses. They have to learn that they HAVE to listen to the vast number of people that actually play the games and not to DEI hires and investment companies that are pushing an agenda.
Dragon Age used to be my favourite game franchise... USED to be, i'm not gonna buy this veilguard woke bs
Veilguard no, origins YES
Sparking Zero is going to be fantastic. I've seen the fully leaked roster. All your favorites are returning.
yeah there is no way I'm buying a game that prominently features a black elf... that tells me right there that they are more concerned with political agenda than anything. black elves make as little sense to me as tall lanky dwarves.
I don't mind the skin color but the face is all wrong. Elves in Dragon Age have always had very distinct physiques, slimmer, more angular. Davrin just looks like a human dude with pointy ears.
I think they went way too hard with the trans shit for this. There's literally nothing else to it.
Sad Dragon Age: Origins never got a sequel.
Yes it did it was called Dragon Age Awakening
Also try Baldurs Gate 3
@@vonfaustien3957
And that was TRASH.
It’s all downhill after origins. Hard pass on the new dragon age
Inquisition won game of the year what the fuck happend
BioWare got overrun by 5’2” 200lb liberal white women with blue hair and 10 pronouns
2014 was a shit year for games and let's be honest, Shadow of Mordor should've won GOTY over Inquisition
Good thing the game will be sold on steam so ea can't even lie about the sales number.
I've played all the dragon ages. Will not even bother with this one
There's no modern audience. Only THE audience. And pandering to 3 % of that group isn't doing anymore any favors.
One look at the first trailer of Dragon Age: the veilguard was all I needed to see to know excactly what kind of people had made the game. Hard pass
Mouse PI looks sick. I honestly wouldn't mind more games with that kind of art style. Cuphead showed that there's a market for it, and this one looks like it could show that people can take that a step further.
Imagine a beat 'em up game with that style. Imagine going Popeye-Mode on some enemies. THAT would be cool, I think.
How come the 'inclusion' part of DEI always involves the people who want to be included also want you to change the material to suit them. If you want a bright soft action rpg w mobile graphics and pansexuals, just make your own!
In the first Dragon Age, one of the initial quests was to drink the blood of darkspawn. If that ritual didn't end you outright, then you had the honor of joining the war against the Archdemon where you would likely end up slain by the darkspawn. Now you get to enjoy quirky fun times and all of the whimsy.
I've played every DA game previously, but this looks nothing like the previous games and the gameplay does NOT excite me. I'll pass.
